Cezanne comes alive within the context of his time.

Generously illustrated and well-written book about Cezanne's life and work includes photographs of the places where he lived, roamed, and painted; objects from his still life paintings; examples of his work; and descriptions of the food he loved with authentic recipes to recreate it. The book is part of a series covering Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh, making all four of these artists and their art come alive within the context of their own time. This unique approach has inspired similar books on Matisse, Picasso and other artists.
